So what Dustin did not know in his blog post is that was the second time Danny got up since we put the boys down at 9:30. Both boys got up at midnight and apparently Danny and I have been up since then (I had gone to bed at 2 when I put the boys into their beds again, but I could not sleep--Dustin got up shortly after 2 because he could not sleep. Now he is in bed and I am back up with Danny). Needless to say I am dreading today. Thankfully Josh is asleep and has been since 2, but Danny and I have to make it all the way to nap time this afternoon. Yikes that seems forever away right now at 4:40 am.
Overall our trip back here went smoothly. They again messed up the children's meals--Danny ate two breakfasts and Josh ate two dinners--thankfully no complaints from them, so all was okay in the end. The only other issue was a broken light right next to Danny and Dustin, so their lights never turned off during the "night" part of the trip.
As Dustin said, it was so nice to enter our house rather than the hotel like last time. It was also great to have our ayi help me all day get things unpacked. I am amazed that almost everything is put away and hung up (just the kids clothes left)--this is quite a feat as we had eight large suitcases and eight carry-on bags.
Dustin has already mentioned the weather here. The humidity is quite unreal. I would liken it to living in a sauna or stepping into a small bathroom after you have had the hot water running for about an hour in the shower. Not very comfortable--thankgoodness for air conditioning in our apartment and the clubhouse. I am not looking to going to the carrefour Monday where they seem to hardly put any air on at all.
Looking forward to getting over the jet lag and really settling in here. I got two e-mails about Danny's school. The first invites you to meet the teachers over coffee on Friday and the one right after it in my mailbox says exactly the same, but invites you to meet them on Thursday. I simply thought--ah welcome back to China. Such a simple thing, but it is interesting how they will not acknowledge that they got the first e-mail wrong, this or they are extremely unclear about having two dates planned.
Well, I think I am going to go start my first pot of coffee for the day.

I'm glad you made it safely. It was so great seeing you, while you were home. We will miss you! I hope jet lag goes away quickly!:)
